There are two ways to record Cash Receipts in Microsoft Dynamics  NAV:

  • Cash Receipt Journals
  • Cash Receipt Batches
  • Deposits

(all three options are in Cash Management). 

Using Deposits

Deposits represent the same functionality as filling in a manual deposit slip and entering the details of receipts from several customers. It combines everything into a single bank entry.

Deposits are made as a result of cash receipts recorded for payments made or to record sales or other income. These entries are grouped by Bank Account, Date, and Deposit. The Deposit Slip Form in NAV provides a simplified means to record and post cash receipts while maintaining the ability to apply those deposits to outstanding invoices or credit memos.

The Deposit Slip allows users to enter multiple customers’ deposits on a single deposit slip as long as the deposits are posting to the same bank and each customer entered for a deposit has the same currency code.

It offers the ability to enter deposit lines for each customer’s checks received and apply it in full or in part to the different outstanding documents while still taking any applicable discounts available.

To access the Deposit page:

  1. Open Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2016.
  2. In the Search field, type Deposits and select the page from the drop-down list.
    The Deposits page displays.
  3. Either double-click an existing deposit or click New in the Ribbon.

The Deposit page allows users to enter daily cash receipts easily while providing complete information about the payment and the distribution of non-sales receipts to any cost center, department or general ledger account.

The page's fields are discussed below:

Field Description
No.  The deposit number. This number will automatically default based upon the number series established and identified within the Deposit Nos. field in the General Ledger Setup.
Bank Account No.  Use to select which bank account the cash receipts will be deposited into. The program automatically fills in the currency code based on the information on the Bank Account Card.
Total Deposit Amount Use as a point of reference field to indicate the calculated total of all checks that will be entered on this particular deposit slip. The Total Deposit amount and Total Checks amount must equal in order to post the deposit slip.
Total Deposit Lines Calculated field based upon the total amount reflected in the deposit slip lines.
Difference Calculated field that will reflect the difference between what the user entered in the Total Deposit Amount field and sum located in the Total Deposit Lines field. The Difference field must be zero before posting can take place.
Posting Date Used to enter the date on which the deposit slip should be posted. The posting date will be copied to entries when posting occurs.
Document Date Used to indicate the date on which the deposit was created.
Shortcut Dimensions 1 and 2 Used to enter analysis markers to the deposit information.
Currency Code The currency of the selected bank account.

To enter daily cash receipts from the Deposit page:

  1. Each check deposit must also have the same currency code as specified on the deposit slip as well. The user will enter the check information into the lines of the deposit indicating the origin and the amount of the cash receipts.
  2. Once the check information is entered into the deposit Lines, the user can select the Apply Payment function to indicate what open entry the cash receipt should apply to.
  3. In the Lines FastTab section, enter the Account Type which is generally Customer for payments for customers on account or G/L Account for any miscellaneous cash receipts like GST refunds, and so on.
    The document no. is generally the check #.
  4. Leave the amount blank if NAV must calculate it based on the invoices selected as being paid on this check. However, if the invoices do not equal the amount on the check, the amount should be filled in or edited.

To apply the payment to multiple outstanding invoices:

  1. Select Lines Actions > Functions > Apply Entries.
    This will display all outstanding invoices for this customer.

To pay invoices:

  1. Select the invoice to be paid and click Set Applies-to ID in the Ribbon.

  3. Close the page.

Depositing Test Report

  1. Navigate to Reports > Deposit Test Report.

Prior to posting the deposit slip, the user can print a Deposit Test report. This report includes any errors that would prevent the seposit slip from posting. The level of detail displayed in the Deposit Test report can be controlled, based on the options chosen in the Request Form.

It can be specified that the Deposit Test report show only the checks or the checks as well as the applications (see Options FastTab). Dimension information can also be shown.

  3. At the end of the day, User “A” can review and reconcile entries with the Cash Receipt Batch Report.
  4. User “B” would validate the Cash Receipt Batch Report and use the Transfer to Deposit function to create a deposit based on Tenders and make the deposit to the bank.
